Smith Micro Software Achieves Profitability for Fourth Quarter of Fiscal
Year 2014, Reports Full Year Financial Results
Company Reiterates Fiscal 2015 Guidance
Aliso Viejo, CA, February 24, 2015 –Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMSI), a leading provider of wireless and mobility solutions, today reported a return to profitability for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company also reported financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2014, and reiterated its fiscal 2015 guidance.
“Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $10.6 million, coming in at the top end of our previously announced preliminary results, and we were profitable on both a non-GAAP and GAAP basis,” saidWilliam W. Smith Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. “Fourth quarter revenues were up 12 percent sequentially from the third quarter due to growth across all product lines. GAAP operating income was $217,000 for the fourth quarter, and non-GAAP operating income was $797,000, which resulted in a non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.01.”
“We’ve worked hard to enhance our product portfolio, streamline our operations, and turn around our business case, and we are extremely proud to post a profit once again. We will continue to push ourselves to build a balanced, predictable base of business. We are reiterating our previously announced guidance for fiscal 2015 and expect to remain profitable for the entire year,” Mr. Smith concluded.
Fiscal 2015 Guidance:
• | Revenue for the first quarter should be approximately the same as the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. |

• | Company expects to be non-GAAP profitable for the fiscal year 2015. |

Non-GAAP net loss (which excludes stock compensation and adjusts for Proforma taxes) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was $4.9 million, or $0.12 loss per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $14.8 million, or $0.40 loss per share, for fiscal year 2013.

The Company uses a non-GAAP reconciliation of gross profit, profit (loss) before taxes, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in the presentation of financial results in this press release. Management believes that this presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing our income generation since stock-based compensation is excluded from the non-GAAP earnings calculation and adjustments are made for Proforma taxes. Since we are in a loss position, the non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit) for the period ended December 31, 2014 was computed by using a tax rate of 38 percent using the Company’s normalized combined U.S. federal, state and foreign statutory tax rates less various tax adjustments. This presentation may be considered more indicative of our ongoing operational performance. The tables below present the differences between non-GAAP earnings and net income (loss) on an absolute and per-share basis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the non-financial measures as reported by Smith Micro Software may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
